Leaving F.I.T. this Saturday was really sad. Each of us stood in front of our class and presented the project we spent weeks creating. When everyone was finished, we had a short lesson on Marie Antoinette which I really loved. But it had to be the last 15 minutes of class that was my favorite time in the program. We all talked about what we liked about the class and the different things that our professor can do with her next class. I have to say Professor Maureen Crilly is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She was so helpful and you can’t help but to love her personality. She is so passionate about her work and has an amazing career. She also has this way with words where she can make anything she says sound so interesting and fun. I think she’s a person that everyone in my class can look up to because of her success.

Setting this up was a lot harder than it looks

Gathering around to take pictures with the girls was bitter sweet. Having class with them was so much fun, we didn’t get to talk much but when we did it was always interesting and we always laughed. I hope you all had a great experience and I’ll miss spending my Saturdays with you!

“Our little slumber party”

Unfortunately, this was my first and last Precollege class. I want the Spring to be all about senior year, having fun and enjoying my last few months of high school. Now that I’m finished with the course and college applications, it’s time to have a little fun before college. I was accepted into Berkeley and Bridgeport for interior design… but I’m still working on my FIT and Pratt portfolios so I have no clue what college I am going to yet. Going into this program, I was unsure if I wanted to pursue interior design but after taking the class and getting a little experience, I was sure. I can’t explain why I love picking fabrics, furniture and paints so much, it’s just my thing.

I’ll miss the horrible drive into the city, seeing crazy people in Starbucks, writing my blog fashionably late :X and staying up all night wrapping fabrics… It was awesome :)

I wish everyone the best of luck. Remember, do what you love and success will follow.

I’m having such a hard time with my final project! There is so much to do in such little time. Our final project was to create a board with our floor plan, fabrics, finished and furniture for our mock apartment. Everyone’s project is so unique and they all look amazing.

We have been litterally working on this project since day 1. I have learned so much from this project. Going to fabric stores, clipping out pictures and practically robbing Home Depot of all its wood samples has been an experience.

Saturday we worked on our final steps of the project and next week we are going to to a presentation to the class, which I’m a little nervous about. I’ve been working right through break these past few weeks because I want my project to be perfect! I can’t wait to just to my presentation and not have to worry about it! I still have a lot of finishing touches to do.
